John Wesley Hardin was the son of a Methodist minister, but it didn't seem to rub off on him. Born in 1853, he became a notorious outlaw of the wild west (or maybe more correctly a serial killer in folk hero disguise). Killing a man when he was 14, he was finally sentenced to jail in 1877 having claimed to have killed 42 men, though only 27 were verified. Somehow he was released from prison and pardoned in 1894, promptly passing the bar exam and gaining the right to practice law before killing a man for a $5 bet and then being killed himself in a saloon dispute.
